FCUSD is transitioning to online registration for the 2015-2016
school year. All parents/guardians of
new students must first fill out a Pre-Enrollment Packet. Packets will be
available in the Russell Ranch office beginning on Wednesday, January 21st.

The completed Pre-Enrollment Packet will need to be returned to
the Russell Ranch office anytime between 7:30-4:00 pm by January 27, 2015.

In addition to the completed Pre-Enrollment Packet, you will also
need to provide copies of:

·Birth Certificate or Passport (please bring the
original and a copy)

·Immunization Records

·Proof of Residency: Recent SMUD Bill, PG&E
Bill, or Rental/Lease/Escrow Paperwork (Please speak with the office staff if
you need an Affidavit of Residency)

SnapCodes will be emailed to families in February after the New Parent/Kindergarten meeting. The SnapCode
will enable families to complete their student's registration online. Online
registration will opens sometime in February. Look for a email from us. All online registrations must be
completed by Friday, March 13th.

PLEASE NOTE: Incoming
Kindergarteners must turn 5 on or before September 1, 2015.

Important Information
for all new students:

When registering, every new student completes a Home Language
Survey (Language Identification Form). If the answers to questions 1, 2, or 3
name a language other than English, the student is identified as a “language
minority” student. A "language minority" student will be assessed
within thirty (30) calendar days of enrollment to determine if s/he is an
English learner or is initially fluent in English. Students will be tested for
English proficiency using the California English Language Development Test
(CELDT), and that test will be the primary determinant for initial identification
of English fluency status.

New Parent/Kindergarten Orientation is scheduled for February 3,
2015 at 3:30 in the Multipurpose room.
